The French maps published in Paris were almost always based on English sources. Such were the _Carte de la baye de Baston_ (no. 30), and _Plan de la ville de Baston_ (no. 31), in _Le Petit Atlas maritime, vol. i., Amérique Septentrionale, par le S. Bellin, 1764_. There are several other French maps without date, but probably a little antedating the outbreak of hostilities. Such are a _Plan de la ville et du port de Boston_, published by Lattré in Paris;[623] and a small map, _Plan de la ville de Boston et ses environs_, engraved by B. D. Bakker. An engraved map, without date, is in the British Museum, called _Carte des environs de Boston, capitale de la N^{lle} Angleterre en Amérique_.[624] It carries the coast from below Plymouth to above the Merrimac. There is in the Poore collection of maps in the Mass. State Archives a _Carte de la baye de Baston_ (marked Tome i. no. 30). The only dated map of this period is a _Carte du porte et havre de Boston, par le Chevalier de Beaurain_ (Paris, 1776). The corner vignette shows a soldier bearing a banner with a pine-tree. Frothingham, who reëngraved this picture, could find no earlier representation of the pine-tree flag. The English (1774) map of the "most inhabited part of New England" was reproduced "after the original by M. Le Rouge, 1777", under the title of _La Nouvelle Angleterre en 4 feuilles_; and it was again used in the _Atlas Ameriquain Septentrional, à Paris, chez Le Rouge_ (1778), repeating the map of Boston, with names in English and descriptions in French. Another reproduction from the English appeared in the _Carte particulière du Havre de Boston, reduite de la carte anglaise de Des Barres par ordre de M. de Sartine_ (1780). It belongs to the _Neptune Americo-Septentrional, publié par ordre du Roi_. There is among the Rochambeau maps (no. 14), in the library of Congress, a _Plan d'une partie de la rade de Boston_, done in color, about eight inches wide by sixteen high, showing the forts and giving an elaborate key. * * * * * There is a curious map of Boston and its harbor, with names in Latin, but apparently of German make, _Ichnographia urbis Boston_ and _Ichnographia portus Bostoniensis_, which make part of a larger map, perhaps the _Nova Anglia_ of Homann of Nuremberg. The _Geschichte der Kriege in und ausser Europa_, published also at Nuremberg in 1776 (erste theil) has a map of Boston. Of the same date (1776), and belonging to the _Geographische Belustigungen für Erläuterung der neuesten Weltgeschichte_ (Zweytes Stück), published at Leipsic, is a _Carte von dem Hafen und der Stadt Boston_, following the French map of Beaurain even to reproducing the group with the pine-tree banner. It embraces a circuit about Boston of which the outer limits are Chelsea, Cambridge, Dorchester, Long Island, Deer Island, and Pulling Point. * * * * *
